Sorry, I should have been clearer on the time period. I can't remember the exact dates, but the time period of the data I saw was from the late 1970s to the year 2000.
I agree there wasn't much of a shift from 1990s onward, but there was from the late 1970s.
You also have to remember that household income doesn't take much of a shift in household structure in order to flatten out income.
If you had 10% of households go from two income earners (say $80K) to single income earners ($40K) each, that would pull down the average substantially.
